Chris Wilson Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The passing storm took down a huge old oak that took another two with it, all into the back garden of my neighbour, "Carbon Carl" the ex McLaren composites man, who now works from home. A LOT of work now to saw them up and move them, and reinstate his fence line. Luckily they missed his workshop and kennels. Such a shame they must be getting on for 100 years old. I put him a temporary fence up yesterday to stop his eight Pyrenean Mastiffs getting out and started with the chainsaw. Probably a weeks work yet to do, these are three BIG barstewards. I can feel the back ache starting just thinking about it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 A shame to see lovely old trees getting blown over but good news they didn't do too much damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Shropshire must be like some sort of A-team, lock you and Carbon Carl in a garage; you would burst out with an F3 powered carbon composite osgiken lsd eibach damper race car ! His bed is probably made from Carbon! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Need a hand? in exchange for some logs. Could spare a morning on Saturday or next weekend I have more time /QUOTE] I mentioned it to Carl but he is anxious about the insurance implications if something untoward occurred, so we thank you for the kind offer but have to decline. One all chopped up, another about a third done 9the biggest0 and the last still lying their smirking at us! Cheers! If you need logs i will let you know once i have moved some of it to an accessible location, right now they are by his boundary fence on my side, but a long way away from easy access, need to make access for the tractor to get over there, but will be having a break and getting back to catching up with normal work for a bit after they are chopped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 I know he's not, but can understand the neighbour's concern, he's still thanking his God for not having the workshop flattened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
